Kate and Roy Glencross show off their slender figures after "his and hers" gastric bands helped them shed a lifesaving 20 stone.

The couple got so fat two years ago that doctors warned they could die. Diets failed so they had ops on the same day costing £24,000. Roy now weighs 14st down from 25st 6lb. Kate, 61, lost more than 8st to get down to 10.

Roy, 62, of Holbeach, Lincs, said: "If we hadn't had the bands, we'd probably be dead."
